November 13 – Galatians 2:20- “The Son of God who
loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Remember to read My Utmost for His Highest for
FEAR
Fear is such a wicked thing. It fills a soul with
doubt.
Sadly warping its evil self until truth weakens its
clout
Fear is such a controlling thing. It stagnates
creative thought.
Fear exposes partial truth until doubts cause
reasoning to stop.
Fear is wicked, coarse and cruel. Fear stalks its prey
so bold.
Fear occurs because faith has moved. We pushed faith
out in the cold.
God says, “Child, I see each falling tear. I know
what fear’s about.
But if you’ll cast your cares on Me, I’ll rout
that timid fear out.
Spend time with Me, I’ll heal your fear. Spend time in My Presence and pray.
When you take time alone with Me, no fear will have
power to stay.
Fear and faith can’t wear the same shoes.
Give me some time and watch what I’ll do!”
